A Delicious Winter Treat

Winter is a great time of the year to keep warm and have fun in the kitchen making yummy treats to share with your family and friends. These chocolate covered spoons are a delicious treat that your child will not only love to make they will enjoy eating too. Warm up a mug of milk and dip the chocolate covered spoon in for a fun and delicious hot chocolate. Ingredients

1. Milk chocolate (or any chocolate that you wish)
2. Smarties
3. Marshmallows
4. Plastic spoons
5. Clear gift/party bags
6. Ribbon

Method

1. Place some plastic spoons on a tray with the handles slightly elevated.
2. Break up the chocolate pieces, place them in a bowl and melt them in the microwave for 20 seconds at a time stirring at each interval until all of the chocolate has melted.
3. Poor melted chocolate into a zip-lock bag or a plastic bag and seal it closed.
4. Cut the corner off the bag and then begin piping the melted chocolate onto the spoons.
5. Fill the spoons until the melted chocolate reaches the edges.
6. Place the tray of spoons in the refrigerator to make the melted chocolate harden slightly.
7. As the chocolate begins to harden but is still soft to touch, take the tray out and place some coloured smarties on top of the chocolate.
8. Once decorated put the tray of spoons back into the refrigerator and wait until the chocolate has hardened completely.
9. Once hardened completely, take each spoon and place them into their own individual plastic gift bag with two marshmallows.
10. Tie a ribbon around each plastic gift bag and the spoon handle. Knot the ribbon and then tie a bow.
11. Hand out at your child’s birthday parties or give them to your family or friends as fun winter treats. Enjoy these yummy chocolate spoons with a glass of warm milk. The chocolate will melt away from the spoon and will turn any plain milk into a delicious hot chocolate.
